Q: I heard Jason Mraz lives on an avocado farm. Is that true? —Michael M., Dallas

A: Yep! “It was kind of an accident,” says Mraz, 36, who makes his home outside San Diego and is featured on the a cappella group Straight No Chaser’s new album, Under the Influence. “I just wanted to live out in nature. When I realized there were hundreds of avocado trees here, I thought, ‘I can keep this going.’ ” Thanks to Farm Aid’s mentorship, his property produces 30,000 pounds of the fruit a year, which go to a local Chipotle—except for the two to four avocados the vegan Grammy winner eats daily.
